Traditional and heritage shop fronts Northumberland

Period buildings in the North East often have uneven openings, so each section of your Northumberland shopfront is made to measured sizes. Local archives across the North East may hold old photographs of your Northumberland premises, and these can guide an accurate rebuild of a lost frontage.

What do we offer in Northumberland?

Matched mouldingsProfiles are copied from existing sections, so new work sits correctly beside the old.

Like-for-like restorationOriginal pilasters, consoles and cornices are repaired and kept, with new timber spliced in only where decay has gone too far.

Period reconstructionA lost frontage is rebuilt from old photographs, surviving fragments and the evidence in neighbouring buildings.

The guide price is £5,995 to £14,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. We can prepare drawings for heritage work in Northumberland, and we agree the details with you before the local planning authority receives anything. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Northumberland?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northumberland, including Alnwick, Ashington, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Blyth.

Can a heritage shopfront meet access rules?

Usually, with care. The Equality Act 2010 requires reasonable adjustments in England, Scotland and Wales, and Northern Ireland uses the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. Options include a portable ramp, a wider door leaf or a gently sloped lobby, and the conservation officer should be involved early.

How long does a heritage shopfront take?

Allow longer than for a standard front: a typical 8 to 14 weeks of making after consent, plus the time the council takes to decide. Delays usually come from missing information, so we prepare the drawings and details carefully before you submit.

Do I need listed building consent for a new shopfront?

Yes, if the building is listed and the work affects its special character. Doing that work without consent is a criminal offence. Planning permission may also be needed. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland run their own systems, so we confirm the route for your building.
